So I did a Google on STRACNET and found: "The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) has defined a core rail system known as Principal Railroad Lines. These rail lines have the following attributes: Amtrak service; National defense essential; or annual freight volumes exceeding 20 million gross ton-miles per mile (MGTM/M). An advantage of the Strategic Rail Corridor Network (STRACNET) is the ability of these lines to transport oversize (high/wide) loads."
So somehow we're missing the Amtrak Bigfoot between Wendel and Eureka? Sounds like quite a ride! Do they have a Pacific Parlor?
